sewed by touch and feel
I guess that's how you would say it. I've never heard of a blind tailor (my grandfather was a tailor in Ukraine, but he wasn't blind)

sew by touch; grope
The taylor sewed by touch. - В предложении говориться что он именно шил на ощупь, а не гладил и резал, и т.д. Может у него были помощники :)
He would grope the outline, and cut by touch (or by feel).
